Developmental Psychology

After taking a general look at psychology and some of its major theories, we will trace psychological thought about the human life by focusing on human development. We will look at models of human development put forward by Saint Thomas Aquinas and other Catholic philosophers, Jean Piaget, Sigmund Freud, Erik Erikson, and Lawrence Kohlberg, as well as a few others. Students will not only learn about psychology, they will also learn a lot about themselves.
